Lovin the fall!

~~~HAPPY FALL~~~

We have certainly had a busy couple of months!!!!!! But good news... hopefully things will settle down quickly!!!


First of all, the house will be done by the end of this week!!!! YEAH!!!! We are getting really excited to get in to our place! I've already bought a million things to decorate Emmery's room with! We are still trying to save up to buy our couches and a TV for the downstairs living room, but we'll get it furnished eventually! :)


Last month we took our first roadtrip to California with Em! It was an amazing time and he was such a trooper! We got stuck in a snow storm in Central Utah for 3 hours, dead standstill on the highway, and he slept and played through the entire thing. What a good boy!


Em got to meet all his Cali relatives and it was a blast! We stayed with John and Kathy and got spoiled rotten. My dad and Sally and Jen came down to see us as well and it was so wonderful to catch up.... I think they liked him just a tad :)


I got to see my cousins that I haven't seen in YEARS! It was wonderful to finally meet all their little ones! Crazy how we all just grew up!



Em was a monkey this year and let me tell ya, he was pretty stinkin cute!!!!!!!!! He slept the entire time we were trick or treating, but he did get to enjoy a little bit of the holiday when we met up with Theresa and Curtis. As always, it was wonderful to see them, its only been about 15 years since I saw Curtis last! We went through this really cool thing called Pioneer Village. They decorate all the old homes, that are historical displays throughout the year, haunted themed and the kiddos get to trick or treat at each of them. It was pretty cute!

We hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday and I'll post again soon!

Seriously time flies!

My little guy is 4 months and it feels like he was just born 4 weeks ago!!! He's getting so big! Latest developments are:
1. My big boy thinks he can sit up on his own... but then his head gets too heavy and he topples over...
2. His most favorite thing is a bath! In fact, we take 2 a day cause he demands ones at night!
3. He is teething. Boo on this development. He is a droolin fool! And he will gnaw on ANYTHING within reach! But fingers are his fav!
4. We are working on rolling over, but most of the time he is just content to lay on his side and not complete the over part of rolling over.
and finally 5. He is now eating oatmeal in his night time bottle and you should see this kid suck it down! He loves him some oatmeal!

Here is the latest of my cutie patootie (Yep, he's gonna kill me for that one one day!





In other news.... the house is flying! We have sheetrock, windows, and we're starting the floor this week! I can't believe it!! Can't wait to cook a turkey in my very own oven next month!!!!!!

Our big boy is 3 months!

Emmery turned 3 months on Sunday! He has recently discovered his tongue, he loves it! Sticks it out and blow spit bubbles all the time! hahaha He loves watching everything passing by and thinks his bouncer is pretty neat! HE IS ONE HAPPY BOY!

We be diggin!!

Our exciting news.... We broke ground on our home!!!! We are thrilled and cannot wait to be in! They should be done November 16th! Just in time to decorate for the holidays :)

Camping!

Well if I wasn't already sure that we have the world's best baby and dog before this weekend, I would have been convinced on our camping trip!! :) Not only did Emmery do incredible on his first camping trip, he was also the biggest trooper on our 4-wheeler ride from hell! Hahaha

We were planning on camping up at Tony's Grove in Logan Canyon. We were going to leave Logan at 6 o'clock on Friday night but by the time Shawn and Gina got the 4-wheelers and got to Logan it was 8. We got up the canyon and go figure, every single campsite was taken. (I'd checked to make sure there were some available around 5 before we headed up) So plan B, Gina's dad has land up Cub River just outside of Preston, Idaho. We drive the hour and a half back up to Cub River and finally set up camp at midnight. Sky built a fire and we spent the next few hours enjoying the fire and relaxing. It was a BEAUTIFUL night and felt so wonderful to just be outdoors.

Saturday we woke up, Sky scrambled some eggs for us and then we packed up the 4-wheelers. I strapped Emmery to me in his new carrier that we bought for our little weekend excursion and off we went! We took a gorgeous ride up to Willow Flats and ate lunch. We all dipped our feet in the stream and Conner had a blast throwing rocks in the stream. Bella thought it was so fun to pounce after the rocks and try and retrieve them from the freezing water! She was a doggie in heaven! After lunch we jumped back on the 4-wheelers and headed up the mountain. Sky found a trail heading down and it looked pretty good, so he decided to take it..... 20 minutes later, we are on the trail from hell. There is no way to turn around and what was a nice dirt trail is now rocks, fallen trees and overgrown. The boys did an amazing job of getting us down safely and we finally hit some level ground... problem being, we weren't really sure where the two trails that were forking off in front of us lead to or what condition they'd be in. Long story short, we took one for about 15 miles only to turn around, backtrack, take the other one, have another scary trail ride and FINALLY reach Cub River Road! Boy were we excited to see civilization!! Other than being totally covered in dirt, some sore muscles and a few scratches, we made it out just fine! The kids were unharmed and Em looked liked he'd had fun! hahaha! Bella was a perfect little puppy and stayed right by my side the entire time and hung on for dear life :)

When we got back down to camp Sky started us a fire and we put our campfire dinners on. Sky's fam came up and they roasted hot dogs and we all did s'mores. It was a great time!!

Needless to say, we'll never forget Em's first camping trip!!!

2 Months!

My oh my how the time does fly!!!!!!!!!!!! Emmery is now 2 months old and I can't believe how quickly we've gotten here! Friday was his 2 month check up and he is officially 22 1/2" long and 10 lbs. He is still on the skinny side but the doctor says he is doing just great and it may take about 6 months for him to full catch up! But he is happy and healthy and we couldn't ask for more!

We are all doing wonderfully! I just got an amazing new job working for a new real estate broker in town. It has been fun! I love the challenge of learning the new systems and working with Kade is awesome. Best part is... I get to work from home! Em sits in his bouncer by my desk and tells me stories or snoozes while I work. It is absolutely the best of both worlds!

Oh happy boy!

Em has been so much fun lately! He smiles at everything and tells sweet little stories! It is awesome!
